So in the vast majority of cases, failed Fright Checks result in the character being stunned or otherwise freezing, and then being gravely injured (and taken out of the campaign for a long time, or for good) or killed on the spot.
I don't know that particular campaign, but if you are being faithful to Lovecraft, then stunned people should rarely be the target of attacks.
